Magpies' youngsters return to league action

Written by Dan King

After Wednesday night's FA Youth Cup fifth round win at Sunderland, Newcastle's under-18s return to league action on Saturday.

Dave Watson's side make the trip to Manchester City's Academy stadium for a 12.30pm kick-off with their thrilling 4-3 win against the Black Cats still fresh in the memory.

But Watson will demand that his side are fully focused on the City clash, and is boosted by the return from injury of Danish striker Elias Sorensen.

Isaac Gamblin and Gideon Adu-Peprah are also looking to build on their own recent comebacks while Mo Sangare and Yannick Aziakonou will be looking to impress after missing Wednesday night's match.
